Email: William.Wendling@ci.bremerton.wa.us
Subject: Change Order Request for City of Bremerton Wastewater HMI Upgrade
Ref.: BRM001/240531/1
Dear Billy,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally request a change order for the Wastewater HMI
Upgrade Project we are currently executing under Goods and Services Agreement signed 5/9/2024 (City
of Bremerton PO# 24131). Despite our best efforts to maintain the original project scope and budget,
we have encountered several unforeseen technical challenges that have necessitated additional time
and resources beyond our original estimates.
Change Order Request Details:
•Request Date: May 30, 2025
•Original Estimate Amount: $79,920.00
•Original Contract Amount: $87,272.64 (including sales tax although engineering and consulting
services are not taxable in Washington state)
•Requested Additional Amount: $43,937.50
o 237.5 hours @ $185/hour = $43,937.50
•Revised Total Contract Amount: $79,920.00 + $43,937.50 = $123,857.50
Justification for Change Order:
After thorough assessment of our project progress and challenges encountered, we have identified the
following unforeseen technical issues that have significantly impacted our development timeline and
resource allocation:
1.Legacy Application Integrity Issues: During our review of the legacy application, we
encountered significant corruption issues in the legacy InTouch HMI application that were not
REVISED EXHIBIT A
BRM001 City of Bremerton WWTP SCADA/HMI Upgrade
Page 2 of 3
apparent during the initial assessment phase. These integrity issues either required additional
diagnostic work and recovery efforts to properly extract and understand the application
structure or resulted in less than adequate understanding of the application structure.
2. Equipment Model Variance: The original scope was based on an understanding of limited
equipment model variance (such as different models of motors, valves etc.). However, upon
detailed system analysis, we discovered substantially greater variance in motors and other
equipment models than initially assumed. This required the development of additional
templates and faceplates to accommodate all equipment variations, significantly increasing
development time. All that said, we believe the new object-oriented HMI application developed
using System Platform provides much better means to manage equipment variance going
forward.
3. Complex Legacy Tag Structure: The structure of legacy tags proved to be more complex and in
some cases misleading than what was evident during initial discovery. This complexity
necessitated many interactive modeling sessions conducted over Zoom with City’s Wastewater
technical staff to ensure proper understanding and translation of functionality into the new
system.
4. Application Refinement: Certain portions of the application were developed based on the
initially discovered application structure but were later determined to be unnecessary or no
longer in use. These components were subsequently removed from the final application, but the
development time had already been invested.
5. Iterative Optimization Process: To ensure optimal performance of the new system, we
implemented several data structure optimizations (applied to object templates, application
hierarchical model etc.) through an iterative development approach. While these optimizations
will ultimately benefit system performance and ongoing maintenance, they required additional
development iterations beyond what was originally planned.
6. Development Environment Constraints: Until migration to the target SCADA application hosts,
the development virtual machine experienced significant performance limitations that
substantially slowed down the implementation of changes to the application. This technical
constraint extended development time across all project phases.
These factors collectively resulted in additional labor hours that could not have been reasonably
anticipated at the time of the original proposal. Our team has made every effort to mitigate these
challenges efficiently while maintaining the quality standards expected for this project.
I am pleased to report that despite these challenges, the application development has been
substantially completed and is now in its final stages of being prepared for commissioning. We hope this
demonstrates our commitment to delivering this project successfully, even in the face of unforeseen
obstacles.

I am interested in
serving:
Bremerton Housing Authority
Is this an application for
reappointment?
Yes
If yes, how many years
have you served on this
commission or
committee?
1
How long have you lived
in Bremerton
19 years
Why are you applying for
this appointment?
I am applying for this appointment because I believe it is
important for the Board to stay connected to the lived
experiences of Housing Authority residents. I want to bring
insight and awareness to staff and decision-makers about the
resident perspective, while also helping to build stronger
connections between the Authority and the community it
serves. Additionally, I hope to create pathways for future
residents to engage in leadership and representation on the
Board.
Which of your personal
and / or professional
interests prompted you
to apply for this
appointment?
Both personally and professionally, I am committed to
connecting people, creating pathways for neighbors to support
one another, and helping to build stronger communities. As the
Strong Community Facilitator for Kitsap Strong, I work with
partners across the region to advance trauma-informed,
strengths-based, and community-centered approaches that
improve the well-being of families.
In my many roles—whether through Kitsap Strong, as a former
commissioner, or as a member of the Resident Advisory
Board—I approach the work with the same commitment: to lift
up resident voices, strengthen protective factors, and build
resilience. While I am passionate about this work in every
setting, for this appointment, my primary focus is grounded in
my lived experience as a resident and my service on the
Resident Advisory Board. These perspectives give me a
unique ability to bridge the experiences of residents with the
3
decision-making of the Board, ensuring both perspectives are
honored and connected.
Looking ahead, I hope to continue building pathways for
resident leadership, creating opportunities for future residents
to engage in governance, and ensuring that the Housing
Authority remains deeply connected to the community it serves.
Have you ever served on
any other Bremerton
board, commission,
committee or task
force? If yes, please list.

Item 5
August 20, 2025
Good evening Mayor & Councilmembers,
My name is Darryl Riley, and I am here tonight to request the formal censure of Councilperson
Jennifer Chamberlain for conduct unbecoming of an elected official — specifically, publicly
referring to me online as a “fool” on another person’s rant about me.
This was not a policy disagreement, nor a matter of spirited debate — it was a personal insult. I
have only spoken to her once since she joined the council, and that was when I was a member of
the Racial Equity Advisory Committee.
As members of the council, you are employees of the citizens of Bremerton. That relationship
demands professionalism, respect, and ethical conduct. Resorting to name-calling is not only
unprofessional, it is high-schoolish, divisive, and beneath the dignity of this body.
It really took me a while to decide to come to this moment because I did not want to cause this
body a problem, but I want to add context that I have never publicly shared before.
Councilperson Chamberlain once worked for me. I terminated her employment on the spot after
some very inappropriate behavior. When I confronted her and fired her, she slung my supplies
across the room in my shop, and shoulder checked me on the way out cursing and screaming at
the top of her lungs trying to provoke me.
At the time, I chose not to say anything because I just wanted her gone. A few months later, she
decided to run for office, and I did not want to disrupt her campaign for city council. I am not
petty like that so I took the high road then, but her recent public attacks on me has made it clear
that she has no such regard for the reputations or dignity of others.
Over the last eight years, I have added close to $4million to the economic ecosystem of
Bremerton. I have hired 350 people since 2013 providing opportunities for families and
livelihoods in our city. I have educated approximately 400 local kids on financial literacy,
ensuring each one left my program with a checking and savings account funded by my nonprofit
to start their financial journey. Mayor Wheeler and Chief Wolfe attended the very 1st graduating
class in 2021.
These are tangible contributions that strengthen Bremerton’s economic base and invests in its
future. The comments made by Councilperson Chamberlain were not only directed at me
personally, but indirectly dismissive of the value of those contributions and the example they set
for others in our community. She took the opportunity to band wagon and further fan the flames
of an already heated and intense situation amongst Black community leaders, and intentionally
created more division amongst the Black community.
When elected officials engage in public disrespect toward citizens — especially those who have
actively worked to improve the city — it undermines trust in local government and discourages
civic engagement. Her actions and behavior are unacceptable.
Council President Younger, I am asking this council to censure Councilperson Chamberlain.
This is not about silencing disagreement — it is about upholding a standard of conduct that
reflects the respect our citizens deserve.
Thank you for your time, and I trust you will take this matter seriously in the interest of
preserving the integrity of this council and the example it sets for Bremerton. Looking forward to
hearing your decision.
Respectfully,
Darryl Riley -Businessman & Entrepreneur

Bremerton City Council Members and Mayor,
During city council meetings, I’ve been watching as people share incredibly meaningful
accounts of those suffering and even dying right outside City Hall from totally preventable
and treatable conditions.
If you believe that these conditions cannot be prevented or treated and that the blame lies
solely with those who suffer from them, I’d like to ask where you found the information to
support that claim.
Also, basic necessities, like public bathrooms, are lacking in our town, which is chaotic
and cruel.
One clear example of how out of touch some council responses have been is when
Council Member Goodnow suggested, on the record, that the increase in homelessness is
due to people moving here to meet "kind" advocates. This is not just uneducated; it’s
ludicrous. Statements like this show a fundamental misunderstanding of this issue and
highlight why we feel frustrated. We are experiencing real struggles, and comments like
that come across as dismissive and hurtful, especially when advocates are providing
heartfelt testimony, pleading for your acknowledgment.
Over the past decade, it’s been painful to witness the lack of concern for our most
vulnerable neighbors and the disregard shown during these moments.
The UW - Center for Real Estate Research has reported that approximately 50% of renters
in this region are living cost-burdened, meaning (according to HUD) they spend more than
30% of their monthly income on housing alone. This housing cost burden is a significant
factor contributing to the rising homelessness crisis. This is factual and can be proven.
It does not help when the city supports the wealthiest developers in the region who are not
providing affordable housing. Instead, we see concessions and tax breaks for these
developers that do nothing to address the needs of our community. This approach only
serves to displace entire socioeconomic classes, raising questions about whether there is
a genuine desire to support those struggling to find housing.
How can you ignore the data showing that a significant percentage , more than half of your
constituents are burdened by housing costs? It is deeply irresponsible for a leader to make
hurtful comments that overlook these realities.
I’m calling you out on this, and I want to make my intentions and opinions clear: I’d rather
stand on the right side of history than be complicit in this neglect of our community.
In closing, being honest and transparent about your priorities would earn you more
respect. If you prefer to support wealthy developers and attract affluent newcomers, just
say so. It’s frustrating for everyday people to see you promoting various causes while your
actions suggest otherwise. Please be straightforward with your community. Your
constituents are not all career politicians or skilled in political doublespeak. They deserve
the chance to vote for someone who truly stands by their words and acts with integrity,
rather than someone who has been dishonest and undermining.
Being straightforward about your intentions is far more respectable, even if people may not
agree with those intentions. It allows voters to make informed choices, instead of feeling
manipulated by someone who says what they think people want to hear while acting
differently behind closed doors. This lack of transparency is dishonest and undemocratic.
Remember, honesty is the best policy—don't turn democracy into an americracy!
Thank you.
